This article can also be found on Lib files in our group's LPP folder.

Some of the most interesting points:

- The natural environment can act as a 'cognitive reset' to improve focus . Also, studies have shown higher results in students whose classrooms have unrestricted views of nature. Leafy plants in a learning space were found to have a similar effect.

- Temperature: 20-23 degrees and 50% humidity have been found to be ideal

- Light exposure has a big impact on learning. Light exposure impacts sleep-wake cycles and subsequently cognitive performance. Blue light is the most powerful - this can be found in screens but also sunlight. Sunlight = increased learning outcomes. Overexposure through screens (esp. at night) = sleep disruption and subsequent lessening of memory/cognitive function.

- Noise is another factor that can interfere significantly - particularly for younger students who haven't yet developed executive functioning skills (ability to filter, focus etc)

The article refers to many studies that might be worth looking at more deeply.

Tony Wagner (2008) proposes students need 7 survival skills

·      Critical thinking and Problem Solving

·      Collaboration and Leadership

·      Agility and Adaptability

·      Initiative and Entrepreneuralism

·      Effective oral and written communication

·      Accessing and Analysing information

·      Curiosity and Imagination
How do we set up a classroom to encourage these skills?

Tony Wagner 2016 Spoke at a Leadership Conference
Spoke about High Tech High as a good example of 21st Century learning spaces. Need to teach to the "Innovation Era"
·Innovation is a team sport-need the skills listed above.
Create team based peer accountable projects, Interdisciplinary tasks
Evaluate students to work as a team-> Flexible space

Teachers team taught as much as possible

This is just one of many articles that draws on some useful metaphors when designing learning spaces. It suggests that every learning space needs 'a watering hole', 'a mountain', 'a campfire' and 'a cave'... (read the article to find out what these mean!)

Hi team,

This year in the JS we are looking at the wet area behind the year 1-2 rooms and turning it into a more inviting and useful space.

It'll be great to apply some of our group's findings to the planning of this.
Hi Amy

That sounds like an action plan to me. I would love to be involved - Jayne

Balanced learning occurs when the social and emotional needs of the students are reflected in the learning environment

Good luck this week back at school. I have loved looking around at some of our classroom spaces. Thanks for sharing Jane. Hope one day my classroom can look that.
